The matter is Of widespread interest.
Many wills are prepared by a type

5000 type-writers in use in this eoun-

business houses and corporations. and
for the most important writing which

Of discussion.
Manufacturers state that the trouble
at Washington arose from using inks
which were not properly chosen for
permanency. Il is stated that for
writing Of contracts. deeds. wills and
other legal papers, ribbons called black

ink on these ribbons is made from
